OK, tried to install my hood today... however ran into a problem...
The cheesy 'glass hood has studs for mounting the hood to the hinges. The studs are mounted too high in order to slide into the slots in the hinge. I could grind out the slots to make it work... but I HATE doing that... so I have a few choices...
This is a no-name second (third?, fourth?) hand hood that I'm using to get the look I want. But now I regret my choice, and from now on, I think I'm only buying new body panels...
Year one has them, but so does this guy on ebay....
Ebay item 260312323857I figure I can make an offer on the ebay one to get it as cheaply (with shipping) as the year one (ebody code + total amount)...
Do I grind the slots?
Do I make it a lift off hood?
Go with year one?
Go with ebay?
What would you guys do?
Thanks in advance
ps. and yeah, I need a hood before I can take the car to the AutoXs...
